Despite lack of scientific evidence and despite the badgers being there first!
Be warned. I'll return fire!!!

naval gazing for beginners
Apparently there is an issue about press/police/parliamentarian links and cliques.
Nothing else going on from the British media. Anywhere. In the world.
In the meantime this big ol' world keeps spinnin' around and the USA has a major heatwave affecting 33 states.
They also have flooding in Vancouver, Canada.
Huge Category 4 Typhoon Ma-on is heading for Japan, where they already have the small matter of melting reactors, tens of thousands homeless and who know what else.
In Scotland in the last few days floods and landslips have happened in Perth and Inverness.

I'm 20 miles from Inverness and it's chucking it down as I type.
This is the driest place in Scotland.
Climate change IS HAPPENING. The weird weather they promised is HAPPENING.
I don't know if it's man made, the start of a Maunder minimum, a Milankovitch event or a Hollywood movie.
I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!
We need to stop naval gazing and scoring tiny political points on whether someone said may or will. We need to remind scientists that they do science and report what they find. We especially need to remind some to approach it with an open mind or they are certain to find what they are looking for.
It doesn't matter a tuppenny toss that sea level rise has slowed down over the last 8 years. It matters even less whether we face warming or cooling or sod all the kind.
We have crapped on our own doorstep and polluted the only planet we have to such an extent that we have no boltholes left.
We are so fixated on continual growth that we have forgotten we have finite resources.
Money is no longer the root of all evil.
Money is now ALL!!
A certain oil company announced 3 month profits of 10 BILLION dollars.
In the meantime 10 MILLION people are starving in the Horn of Africa.
However, not to worry.
David Cameron employed a journalist who may have been dodgy and everyone else can stand up and say " I told you so" and then we can all go home for tea and muffins!
Alternatively, vote with your feet. Don't buy papers who naval gaze, don't watch crappy news programmes, do get your pens and keyboards busy and annoy your elected representatives by reminding them that's what they are and we can un-elect them just as quick. Do shop sensibly and responsibly. Do keep your food miles down.
Remember, there is no " Deus ex machina" to solve this. There may not be a solution.
All I can do as an individual is my best.
All you can do as an individual is your best.
At lease do that.

New World Order?
New World disorder more like.
With the current stushie about the Murdochs plus Obama playing brinkmanship with the Republican extremists and organisations I'd never heard of ( and I'll bet you neither) such as Moodies about to shove us head first into yet another global crisis by downgrading a countries credit rating, Italy or the US, take your pick. If this is a cunning plan it's from a seriously convoluted mind.
Useless eaters we may be but even a chemically stupefied ill educated mob will wake up at some point and ask what happened. We can only hope it's before the tipping point, not after.
In the mean time climate change toddles on unreported.
Drought in Africa, floods in China and it's all very quiet if the Gulf Oil spill could be out in the North Atlantic screwing up the Gulf Stream.
Add in Codex Alimantarius and a very real, very insidious campaign to get us to accept GM foods and I'm no longer scared, I'm **&^%$* terrified.
The Bible may well say Man shall have lordship and dominion but that doesn't in any way mean Man is capable of lordship and dominion.
Our so-called leaders have done an impressive volt-face in trying to distance themselves from News Corp, and in the process seem to be manoeuvring for stringent controls of the press. Has anyone told them 1984 was a warning not a blueprint?
Frankly, if you aren't going to pay attention now and start educating yourself, then when would it be obvious enough for you that there's something going on.
I'm not sure which is scarier, a cunning plan by the Masters of the Universe, or just the inevitable breakdown in this civilisation which was always going to happen.
If you've got this far, read Ian R Crane, Jared Diamond and Roberto Vacca.
It's what you don't know that will bite you.
Hot of the press this morning is Rebbekah Brooks has resigned. I'm sure that will solve all the problems.

Reasons to be cheerfull?
I started writing a wee essay on what I thought and then it occurred to me that no-one else would ever read it. Probably no-one will read this but at least its somewhere they might.
Sound depressing? It should. I'm getting a bit depressed these days. After all the end of the world is nigh isn't it?
Climate change, Comets and Asteroids, Terrorism, New World Order, 2012 and a host of other WE'RE DOOMED calls from assorted numpties and weirdos.
Well maybe we are. If so it's probably our own fault as Einstein got it spot on. " The only two things which are infinite are the Universe and Human stupidity and I'm not sure about the Universe".
All though is not neccessarily lost. There are some intelligent people out there. There are some saying " Hang on a second, we could do this instead". They keep popping up when I research.
The plan is that you, dear reader, if you do indeed exist, will be able to see from here what I'm reading, by whom and what I think. Yes I know there are no Oxford commas but thats the way I roll!
No guarantees about numbers or frequency of posts, just live with what you get.
As a starter for 10, Peak oil seems to be raising it's profile a bit. Can I recommend http://www.wolfatthedoor.org.uk/
No doubt more later while the enthusiasm lasts.
